I struggled to put this book down every evening. I was hooked from the very beginning, but also too scared to let myself finish it quickly. I suffer from stress hallucinations and would rather not risk seeing Katherine in my bedroom, so smaller doses of this nightmarish read were necessary. I rated it 4.75/5 because I still have a few questions I want answered and it bugs me that I'll never know the answers to them, and I do think answering some of them would benefit the storytelling. I understand that not everything has to be explained in full detail, but I don't like having as many questions as I do. I still would highly recommend reading this. A story this fun and haunting is worth the extra questions.
